The production of
η
mesons in coincidence with forward-going protons has been studied in photon-induced reactions on
12
C and on a liquid hydrogen (LH
2
) target for incoming photon energies of ...1.3-2.6 GeV at the electron accelerator ELSA. The
η
mesons have been identified via the

2
array at polar angles of

. Under these kinematic constraints the
η
mesons are produced with relatively low kinetic energy (
≈
150
MeV) since the coincident protons take over most of the momentum of the incident-photon beam. For the C-target this allows the determination of the real part of the
η
-carbon potential at low meson momenta by comparing with collision model calculations of the
η
kinetic energy distribution and excitation function. Fitting the latter data for
η
mesons going backwards in the center-of-mass system yields a potential depth of

. Within the experimental uncertainties, there is no indication of a momentum dependence of the
η
-carbon potential. The LH
2
data, taken as a reference to check the data analysis and the model calculations, provide differential and integral cross sections in good agreement with previous results for
η
photoproduction off the free proton.

The photoproduction of
and
mesons off carbon and niobium nuclei has been measured as a function of the meson momentum for incident photon energies of 1.2-2.9GeV at the electron accelerator ELSA. ...The mesons have been identified via the
and
decays, respectively, registered with the CBELSA/TAPS detector system. From the measured meson momentum distributions the momentum dependence of the transparency ratio has been determined for both mesons. Within a Glauber analysis the in-medium
and
widths and the corresponding absorption cross sections have been deduced as a function of the meson momentum. The results are compared to recent theoretical predictions for the in-medium
width and
-N absorption cross sections. The energy dependence of the imaginary part of the
- and
-nucleus optical potential has been extracted. The finer binning of the present data compared to the existing data allows a more reliable extrapolation towards the production threshold. The modulus of the imaginary part of the
-nucleus potential is found to be about three times smaller than recently determined values of the real part of the
-nucleus potential, which makes the
meson a suitable candidate for the search for meson-nucleus bound states. For the
meson, the modulus of the imaginary part near threshold is comparable to the modulus of the real part of the potential. As a consequence, only broad structures can be expected, which makes the observation of
mesic states very difficult experimentally.
A sophisticated coupled-channel analysis is presented that combines different processes: the channels Formula omitted, Formula omitted and Formula omitted from Formula omitted annihilations, the P- ...and D-wave amplitudes of the Formula omitted and Formula omitted systems produced in Formula omitted scattering, and data from Formula omitted-scattering reactions. Hence our analysis combines the data sets used in two independent previous analyses published by the Crystal Barrel experiment and by the JPAC group. Based on the new insights from these studies, this paper aims at a better understanding of the spin-exotic Formula omitted resonances in the light-meson sector. By utilizing the K-matrix approach and realizing the analyticity via Chew-Mandelstam functions the amplitude of the spin-exotic wave can be well described by a single Formula omitted pole for both systems, Formula omitted and Formula omitted. The mass and the width of the Formula omitted-pole are measured to be Formula omitted and Formula omitted.
